SmartData Conference – Solving real problems with deep learning

Thanks to all those who attended my talk at the SmartData Conference in San Jose. For those who didn’t attend — I highly recommend attending next year. It’s a great event for any savvy individual looking for insights from tech industry leaders.

My presentation centered around the use of deep learning in solving enterprise language and image problems. We took a detailed look at a variety of deep learning algorithms and their abilities to solve complex problems. In particular, algorithms which can analyze sentiment, answer questions, and automatically find images which match a sentence.

We also concluded that much of Natural Language Processing can be reduced to question answering. An area MetaMind has made progress in with our Dynamic Memory Network. As a result, we are very optimistic deep learning is ready to deliver the next wave of innovation to enterprise level customers.
